7.0-Inch LCD Touchscreen

The 7.0-inch colour LCD touchscreen makes it easy for anyone to use the MFP’s advanced functions. The function icons incorporate a simple, straightforward design. Each user can customise the home screen by drag-and-dropping icons for commonly used functions.

Easy UI Mode

In Easy UI mode, the touchscreen displays simple icons for frequently used functions like duplexing and paper size selection.

Quick Login

Just tap your dedicated user icon to access a personally customised operation screen. Customisable items include initial settings and onscreen language.

LED Status Lamps

On the control panel are two LED lamps: one red, one green. These light up to notify you—even from a distance—that, for example, the machine is “now printing” or “out of paper.”

Pop-up Command Screen

Insert a USB drive into the MFP and a command screen will automatically pop up on the LCD. Right away you can print files from the USB drive—which are displayed as thumbnails*—or you can scan documents directly to the USB drive.

*Previews of Microsoft® Office files require optional MX-PU10.

Add a user—it’s simple and easy

Adding a user is easy via the touchscreen control panel. Simply choose an icon from the template.

Free-Tilting Control Panel

The control panel can be tilted freely at various angles. This gives you easy viewing and easy operation, no matter where the MFP is placed or who is using it.

Choose an icon

Enlarged icons allow easy access to the functions you need

Easy Scanning

Tap on the LCD touchscreen’s Auto Set button to have the MFP perform a host of actions automatically. It can determine scan resolution, skip blank pages in a multi-page document, or reorient pages mixed in upside down*. Automatic functions like these save you time and effort, while ensuring optimal scan results.

*Requires optional MX-EB20.

Automated settings that match the document

The MFP can tell whether a document being scanned is colour or B/W. If it is B/W it can automatically select the optimal setting for text—monochrome or greyscale.

Corrects skewed documents

The MFP detects skewed documents* and automatically adjusts them, so you don’t have to re-scan them.

*PDF format only.

Fast Wake Up from Sleep Mode

This MFP recovers quickly from energy-saving Sleep mode. Placing a document in the RSPF or touching the LCD control panel wakes the MFP up in just one second*. This helps to minimise waiting time and get your jobs done faster.

*When in Fast Wake Up mode.

Energy Efficient

To reduce power consumption, Sharp has applied its advanced technologies across all areas of this MFP. Energy-saving functions include a short warm-up time and low power consumption of only 0.5 W* in fax or network standby mode.

*May vary depending on usage environments.

Auto Power Shut-Off

To save electricity, an auto power shut-off function automatically puts the MFP into energy-saving mode after a period of inactivity. Shortly before this mode begins, a message appears on the LCD indicating that the MFP will soon shut down and giving you the option to continue operation.

Easy, High-Quality Scanning and Copying

Through an advanced three-step process, Auto Colour Mode provides faithful and fully automated copying and scanning in both colour and B/W—all with a simple press of the Start button. Here’s how it works: Auto Colour Selection automatically determines whether a page is colour or B/W. Auto Original Type Selection then analyses page contents to distinguish between different components (such as photos, text, and text on halftone backgrounds) and selects the appropriate mode. It uses machine learning to optimally reproduce text and images. Finally, Background Suppression* automatically removes unnecessary background colour. *May not work depending on the colour of the background or type of document.

Automatic Document Feeding

An RSPF (reversing single pass feeder) efficiently feeds in up to 100 sheets of either one- or two-sided originals. Because you can feed in a batch of multiple pages at once, it boosts copying and scanning efficiency.

Automatic Toner Cartridge Eject Function

This function expels completely empty cartridges in preparation for replacement. The cartridge is replaced only after all the toner has been consumed, thereby ensuring efficient use of toner. Because you can tell at a glance when cartridges are empty, they are fast and easy to replace.

Power ON/OFF Schedule

This function automatically turns the MFP on or off per administrator-set schedules.

Eco Recommendation

This function suggests environmentally friendly settings before a print*/copy command is executed from the control panel.

*For printing Document Filing data and direct printing (FTP/SMB/USB).

Want to streamline business processes

Card Shot Function

The MFP lets you easily copy both sides of a card onto a single page. Whether it’s an ID card or a driver’s license, you save time, effort, and paper.

Printing Two Pages on One Sheet

Duplex printing allows printing on both sides of a sheet of paper. The MFP can also print two pages of content on the same side of a sheet of paper. Using both of these functions at the same time lets you print four pages on one sheet. It’s a great way to reduce paper use and cut paper costs.

Versatile Paper Handling

The main unit paper tray can take paper sizes from A3 to A5, while the multi bypass tray can also handle A6 paper. The optional paper feed units handle paper up to 220 g/m2 thick, while the multi bypass tray takes paper up to 256 g/m2 thick*1. In addition to plain paper, the MFP can handle a number of other paper types*2, such as envelopes, removable adhesive paper, and glossy paper.

*1: 256 g/m2 thick paper cannot be fed via main unit paper tray.

*2: Must be fed via multi bypass tray.

Rotation Sort*

Every other copy of a document is rotated 90 degrees when it’s delivered to the output tray. This takes the hassle out of sorting copies and comes in handy when you need to print many copies of multi-page documents.

*Two paper trays must be loaded with the same-sized paper in a different orientation (landscape and portrait).

Custom Images

By storing image files of your choice—like your company’s logo—on the MFP, you can easily add them to copies and printouts.

Example: Making 2 copies of a 2-page document

The 2nd copy is stacked at 90 degrees from the previous one

Multicrop and Image Crop Functions

Multiple receipts, photos, and other items can be scanned all at once, with each one saved as a separate file. This helps you streamline the filing of receipts and bills. The MFP can also crop photos from documents such as magazine pages and save them as individual files.

Multiple Scan Destinations

There are many ways to distribute scanned documents. They can be sent to an FTP server, to a network folder, or to a USB drive. Or they can be sent directly to a designated PC desktop*1 or as email attachments. A compact PDF function*2 ensures that PDF files are sent and received smoothly.

*1: Requires Network Scanner Tool Lite.

*2: Requires optional MX-EB19.

Convert Documents via OCR*

OCR capability on this MFP lets you convert a scanned document into a searchable PDF file or into an editable Office Open XML (docx, xlsx, pptx) file.

*Requires optional MX-EB20.

Business Card Scanning*

The MFP can scan multiple business cards at once. It reads the contact details on each card via OCR* and then exports the details to your chosen contact management system.

*Requires optional MX-EB20.

Versatile Fax Functions*

Network Scanner Tool Lite*

This lets you send documents scanned on the MFP to your PC or mobile device and save them in a specified folder there. It can even work if you’re out at a client’s office. Network Scanner Tool Lite can detect the nearest MFP and let you upload scans to your laptop or mobile device. There’s no need to make special settings.

*Download from the following website: https://global.sharp/products/copier/downloads/

The MFP gives you all the benefits of standard fax functionality. It also supports paperless faxing, so you can check faxes anytime, anywhere and respond accordingly. You’ll be able to handle all sorts of fax-related work with ease.

*Fax requires optional MX-FX15, and Internet fax requires optional MX-FWX1.

Inbound routing lets you forward incoming faxes to a pre-designated location, such as a PC desktop*, FTP server, network folder, or email address without printing to paper. This allows you to check faxes even when you’re out of the office, and it makes it easier to separate incoming faxes intended for different recipients.

*Requires Network Scanner Tool Lite.

The MFP automatically saves incoming fax data. It allows you to preview faxes on the LCD control panel before printing them out. This gives you the option of printing them out if needed, deleting them, or forwarding them to a PC or mobile device. You can also keep them on the MFP’s storage device to use at a later time. Because the MFP can save incoming faxes without immediately printing them, it can reduce your paper and toner usage.

This MFP lets you exchange faxes via email with other compliant fax machines. Compared to conventional phone line faxing, Internet faxing saves on telecommunication costs.

You can directly send a document created on your PC to a recipient’s fax machine via the MFP. This saves time, effort, and paper, because you don’t need to print the document before faxing it.

Link to Cloud Services*1

The MFP connects with cloud services directly from its control panel, letting you upload scanned data to or print directly from any of them*2 Once you log in to the MFP, its single sign-on feature allows you to quickly access multiple software services without having to sign in to each one separately. You can also download and install apps on your MFP via Sharp’s Application Portal. App updates are easily recognisable, so you’ll always be up-to-date on the latest services.

*1: Requires optional MX-AMX2. Contact a Sharp customer representative for details.

*2: Direct printing of PDF files requires optional MX-PK13; direct printing of Microsoft Office (pptx, xlsx, docx) files requires optional MX-PU10.

Print Release*

The Print Release function lets you send documents to the main MFP. This MFP acts as a server and stores them for printing out from any other compatible MFP on the network. The document won’t be output until you log in to the MFP, select the document, and execute a print command. This prevents you from printing the wrong document, forgetting documents in the output tray, or having others see your confidential documents. Print Release is easy to set up for admin staff and doesn’t need a separate server.

*Contact a Sharp customer representative for details on the recommended maximum number of connectable MFPs.

Secondary Ethernet Port*

A secondary Ethernet port allows the MFP to support two separate networks. You can set up different IP addresses and security settings for each line—one in-house, say, and one for visitors. Alternatively, the MFP could be set up to access a web-connected office network as well as a high-security offline network.

*Requires an Ethernet adaptor that supports two lines. Contact a Sharp customer representative for details.

Sharp OSA* (Open Systems Architecture)

Document Filing

Document Filing allows files that have been copied, printed, scanned, or faxed* to be stored by job on the MFP’s solid-state drive. From there, they can be instantly recalled for printing and sending at a later time. You can also combine multiple stored files into one, enabling easy and effective use of data.

*Fax requires optional MX-FX15, and Internet fax requires optional MX-FWX1. For fax and Internet fax jobs, only transmitted data (not received faxes) can be saved via the Document Filing function.

Quick File folder

Storing data in a Quick File folder lets you instantly reuse the file you need.

Main and Custom folders

Main folders can be assigned user names and shared across your workgroup. Custom folders require users to enter a password for access, so your sensitive data can be protected.

Sharp OSA technology allows you to interact with intra-company systems and network applications right from the LCD control panel. And since Sharp OSA utilises industry-standard network protocols, the MFP can easily integrate with third-party document management systems, enterprise resource planning software, workflow applications, and more.

*Requires optional MX-AMX2 and/or MX-AMX3.

Remote Operation*

The Remote Operation function lets you display the MFP’s main control panel on the screen of your PC or mobile device. From a remote location, you can then check MFP settings or reprint data stored on the MFP.

*Requires VNC application. Simultaneous remote operation from two or more PCs or mobile devices is not possible. Remote operation also depends on the network environment and applications being used. Contact a Sharp customer representative for details.
